¹⁰ and ^(A)have put on ^(B)the new self, ^(C)which is being renewed in knowledge ^(D)after the image of ^(E)its creator. ^11 (F)Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,^[a] free; but Christ is ^(G)all, and in all.

^12 (H)Put on then, as ^(I)God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, ^(J)compassionate hearts, ^(K)kindness, ^(L)humility, meekness, and patience, ^13 (M)bearing with one another and, ^(N)if one has a complaint against another, ^(O)forgiving each other; ^(P)as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. ¹⁴ And above all these put on ^(Q)love, which ^(R)binds everything together in ^(S)perfect harmony. ¹⁵ And let ^(T)the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called ^(U)in one body. And ^(V)be thankful. ¹⁶ Let ^(W)the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, ^(X)singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, ^(Y)with thankfulness in your hearts to God. ¹⁷ And ^(Z)whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, ^(AA)giving thanks to God the Father through him.

^18 (AB)Wives, submit to your husbands, as ^(AC)is fitting in the Lord. ¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives, and ^(AD)do not be harsh with them. ²⁰ Children, obey your parents ^(AE)in everything, for this pleases the Lord. ²¹ Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. ²² Bondservants, obey ^(AF)in everything those who are your earthly masters,^[b] not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. ^23 (AG)Whatever you do, work heartily, ^(AH)as for the Lord and not for men, ²⁴ knowing that from the Lord ^(AI)you will receive the inheritance as your reward. ^(AJ)You are serving the Lord Christ. ²⁵ For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

4 Masters, treat your bondservants^[c] justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
